Creating Online Quizzes

My 2nd Grade Team Teacher and I are quickly growing to hate paper! We have been talking about ways to possibly go as paperless as possible. Luckily for us, we do have lots of technology at our disposal.

If you are in a school where there are paperless classrooms, what are some tricks of the trade? I am looking for any and all ideas!

In the meantime, I am including some links below that help to create quizzes. Some of these can be completed online while others may need to be printed off. Nonetheless, they are still helpful!

Thanks in advance for any all tips on the paperless classroom!

All times are in Central Time
Personally, I'm rooting for Seattle! As a Kansas City Chiefs fan, rooting for the Broncos would be wrong! So, Go Seahawks!

No matter who you root for or how you choose to celebrate, students usually bring up the topic of the Super Bowl each year. To help celebrate, I'm including links below that might help you incorporate the year's biggest sporting event into your own classroom. Enjoy!

Virtual Snow!

I don't know about you, but I'm already tired of winter. Blech! That "Polar Vortex" earlier this week was brutal for sure!

While I think freshly fallen snow is beautiful, it still means it's cold outside. So, what's better than melted snow? How about some virtual snow?! At least you won't have to shovel this kind.

Below are a few sites that allow you create snowflakes or have fun with snow...online! These sites are also good for helping students practice maneuvering a mouse correctly.

Enjoy!

The Reason for the Season

While not all of us are able or allowed to talk of the TRUE meaning of Christmas in the classroom, it's important that we never forget it.

Jesus is the reason for the season. But, with all of the commercialism in today's Christmas world, the real meaning of Christmas is sometimes lost.

For those who are looking for some simple resources to help teach this message, I am including a few links below!

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Free Online Christmas Fun!

When I taught Elementary Computers, I would always try to give the kids a break near a holiday. I would allow them to play Holiday Games via my Live Binder site! Of course, if a child didn't celebrate a certain holiday they were given other options. I also didn't limit them to Christmas games at Christmas, or Halloween games at Halloween, etc. They were allowed to play any Holiday or Season related game. The kids LOVED it!

In addition to the sites on my Live Binder, here are some other sites with some great games for Christmas!

Enjoy!
